Knead the flour, water, and half the salt into a firm but rollable dough.
Rest the dough for 20 minutes.
Finely chop the onion and parsley, then mix with the ground beef, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and remaining salt.
Divide the dough into small balls and roll each one out to the size of a tea saucer.
Place the beef filling in the center and pleat the edges so the middle remains open.
Fry first with the filling side down for 2 minutes, then fry the dough side for 2 minutes.
Serve hot with garlic yogurt and ayran.
💡 Tip: Do not leave the dough rim too thick; because the center stays open, a thick edge becomes heavy before it fries through.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve agzi acigi hot as a pastry plate with garlic yogurt, parsley, and optional ayran.
